About

Chateau Margaux 1er Grand Cru Classé 2021 is a dry red wine, crafted from a blend of predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon, with smaller proportions of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot, sourced from the esteemed Margaux appellation in the Bordeaux region of France. This wine epitomizes the elegance and finesse for which Chateau Margaux is renowned, showcasing the exceptional quality and meticulous attention to detail in both vineyard management and winemaking. The 2021 vintage reflects the unique terroir of Margaux, characterized by its gravelly soils and ideal microclimate.

Producer

Château Margaux is one of the most known wineries in Bordeaux, located in the Médoc, just east of Margaux itself. Along with Lafite, Latour, Mouton Rothschild and Haut-Brion, it was recognized as the first growth of Bordeaux in the original 1855 Classification of the Médoc. In general, Margaux is considered the most graceful of the first growths and remains one of the most expensive wines in the world.

On the palate, it offers a full-bodied yet refined texture with silky tannins and vibrant acidity, featuring flavors of ripe dark fruits, graphite, and a subtle earthiness, leading to a long, harmonious finish. This wine is celebrated for its depth, complexity, and the seamless integration of its rich fruit, structural elegance, and nuanced oak influence.

Pairing

Chateau Margaux 1er GCC 2021 pairs beautifully with exquisite dishes such as roast lamb, beef tenderloin, or venison, where its robust structure and intricate flavors enhance the savory richness of the meat. It also complements aged cheeses and dishes with truffle or mushroom sauces, providing a luxurious and satisfying dining experience.

Margaux

All products from this village

The wines of the Margaux appellation could be called the most feminine and elegant of the Médoc region. The soil here is very porous and conducts water well, which is one of the factors for the soft and silky structure of the wines. It is essential to watch out for bad vintage years, as the wines can be watery. Along with the aroma of blackcurrant, Margaux wines have notes of violets and excellent perfumes. New wines are initially introverted and only reveal their elegant aromas and silky flavors with time.

Bordeaux

All products from this region

Bordeaux wines are considered to be the most prestige and renowned in the world. The region is mainly known for its dry red wines made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot grapes, and one can almost always find the word Château (French for „castle”) on Bordeaux wine labels. In order to understand the style of wine most desirable for your taste, it is recommended to try different samples from the Left as well as the Right Bank of The Gironde. Both banks differ not only with different soil, but also with the share of specific wines. There are several classifications in Bordeaux but the main one, introduced in 1855, hasn’t changed since and still impacts wine prices nowadays. A few years later, in 1936, an alternative classification system - Crus Bourgeois - was established. Bordeaux is known for a commerce praxis called en primeur - it means that a buyer can purchase wines immediately after harvest and prior to production for a substantially lower price, thus obtaining the opportunity to sell them for a larger profit later in the future. Bordeaux wines can be described as big, complex and with a strong character, but very friendly at the same time so that each and every wine lover could find something tasty and suitable for a great wine night.
